The planet Venus, after the terraformers finished work and life on Earth ended, was a hell of aggressive mutations, the land and seas turgid with ragingly lethal lifeforms. Humankind lives in domed undersea Keeps--and only the mercenary naval troops called Free Companies venture to the surface to wage the Keeps' proxy wars.
Ensign Brainard and his men, their flitterboat wrecked by a dreadnought's main-gun salvo, are about to face the worst enemy on the planet--The Jungle.
Written in the universe created by Henry Kuttner in Clash By Night.
